ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) ? Rookie Bryce Brown ran 10 yards for a touchdown and the Philadelphia Eagles led the Dallas Cowboys 7-3 early in the second quarter on Sunday night.
Brown, starting in place of LeSean McCoy for the second straight week, began the five-play scoring drive with a 42-yard run up the middle and finished it by going untouched around the left side of the Dallas defense. He had 34 yards rushing in the first quarter.
Brown set an Eagles rookie record with 178 yards in his first start since high school last week against Carolina.
Philadelphia was in front after the first quarter for the first time all season, but Dan Bailey got the Cowboys on the board with a 39-yard field goal early in the second.
Nick Foles, another rookie making his third straight start in place of Michael Vick, completed two passes for 29 yards on Philadelphia's 66-yard scoring drive. He also converted twice on third and long on the Eagles' first possession before they punted near midfield.
Vick and McCoy were inactive because of concussions. Vick was injured in the first Dallas-Philadelphia game three weeks ago.
Dallas running back DeMarco Murray returned after missing six games with a sprained right foot, and the Cowboys ran him the first three snaps after calling 52 straight pass plays from the second quarter to the end of a Thanksgiving loss to Washington. The first time Murray went to the sideline, Tony Romo was sacked by Brandon Graham on third-and-3.
After the Philadelphia touchdown, the Cowboys drove down the field for Bailey's field goal. Romo found tight end Jason Witten for 11 yards on third-and-10 and escaped pressure to complete a pass to Cole Beasley for 13 yards to the Eagles 41. Romo also had a 15-yard scramble.
Murray, who had 90 yards in the first half when he was injured against Baltimore on Oct. 14, had 31 yards on five carries in the first quarter.
Not only did Dallas get Murray back, but the offensive line was closer to full strength. Center Ryan Cook returned after missing time with a knee injury, which allowed Mackenzy Bernadeau to return to guard after two starts at center.

Joel Stein's book tour is sponsored by Stark Raving Wine and his Houston appearance at Cottonwood featured a wine pairing competition between a trio of food trucks, so I thought it might be relevant to ask him about what kind of food adventures he had while writing Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity.
"There's no food component in the book," says Stein, a humor columnist for Time magazine. "I wanted to do really stereotypically masculine stuff . . . I'm a pretty good cook, for stories I've worked in restaurants for a night or two and I was trying to do stuff I didn't know how to do personally."
That list included things like hunting turkeys in Vermont, but not eating a 10 lb. cheeseburger Man vs. Food-style. "That stuff seems kinda pussy to me on some level," says Stein.
?The impulse behind writing Man Made started, Stein explains, when he first saw a sonogram of his child and found out he was having a boy.?
"I did learn how to drink Scotch. I invited a bunch of really wimpy, Jewish, sitcom-writing friends over who couldn't drink alcohol and had a guy come from Macallen and teach us how to drink Scotch. I like Scotch now. I learned you could put a little water or ice cubes in it and that's okay. I learned that it doesn't have to burn and that there's a lot of other flavor once you get past the burn. It's almost like drinking coffee, which I've just started to do. Once you accept that bitter and that burn you can taste other things."
The impulse behind writing Man Made started, Stein explains, when he first saw a sonogram of his child and found out he was having a boy.
"I thought I didn't care what the gender of my child was and as soon as I saw a penis I had not exactly a panic attack, but it was more of a freak-out," he admits. "I realized that a penis would want to go camping, and a penis would want to play baseball and a penis would get in fights, and I wasn't good at that stuff as a kid.? I had an Easy Bake Oven and I had a sticker collection, I had a glass animal collection and I listened to show tunes.
"I was not good at being a boy, so I thought I better learn so that my son, if he was into that stuff, wasn't going to go to the neighbor's dad or the coach to do it with him. Very American Male 101," says Stein.
While in Houston, Stein says he had a great meal at Underbelly on Wednesday and that Chris Shepherd took him to Asian Market for lunch. "It was nice, but I think I would rather have had Gatlin's instead."
Stein appears to have developed an addiction to Gatlin's BBQ last year, when he joined Shepherd at the RodeoHouston World's Barbecue Championship.
"Food & Wine embedded me with the team that won the year before, so I went around with Chris Shepherd to Gatlin's and a bunch of barbecue places. I met with Robb Walsh at his house and he taught me how to use a smoker. It was great. The story is okay but the experience was really great," says Stein. But unfortunately some Texas barbecue wasn't the only thing Stein missed on his brief trip to town.
"You know what I like to do when I'm here? Go to [brunch] at Brennan's. On someone else's dime."

On the first weekend of December, four teams made the NFL playoffs.
With four weeks to go in the regular-season, New England owns the AFC East title, Denver has the AFC West and Atlanta won the NFC South.
Houston has not clinched the AFC South, although it has a three-game lead over Indianapolis, but it secured at least a wild-card spot on Sunday.
The Patriots beat Miami 23-16. Denver defeated Tampa Bay 31-23, and with that loss by the Bucs, the Falcons were guaranteed their division title.
The Texans beat Tennessee 24-10.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) ? Just as Collin Klein was preparing to trot onto the field for the biggest home game in Kansas State history, coach Bill Snyder put his arm around his senior quarterback and whispered something in his ear.
"He just told me how much he appreciated me, and that he loved me," Klein said. "It was a great moment. And I know he said that to every single one of us, and I wouldn't have it any other way. And that's pretty special."
Everything about this night was special for the Wildcats and their fans. With Klein passing for one touchdown and running for two, Kansas State beat Texas 42-24 to wrap up its third conference championship in 117 years, prompting thousands of people to rush onto the field as the sound system blared, "We are the champions."
The Wildcats (12-1, 8-1) had never played for a conference championship in their last game at home, and had never had a player end the regular season in such close contention for the Heisman Trophy as Klein.
With his main competitors, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel nor Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, off, Klein had the stage all to himself. He had one last chance to burnish his credentials for what would be Kansas State's first Heisman, and he made it count.
John Hubert scored three touchdowns on short runs for Kansas State, and Klein threw every Heisman question right back at the questioner.
"Tonight's all about our team and what we were able to accomplish tonight," he said. "And Texas didn't give it to us easily. Tonight's about K-State family. That's the most important thing."
After a slow start, Klein wound up hitting 8 of 14 passes for 184 yards and added 108 yards rushing on 23 carries.
In front of their sixth sellout in seven home games, the Wildcats also tied their team record for victories in a season and matched Oklahoma's Big 12 record.
It was Kansas State's fifth straight victory over Texas (8-4, 5-4), which led 10-7 at halftime, and capped and gave Kansas State coach Bill Snyder the conference title just four years after he came out of a brief retirement.
"Bill is unbelievable," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I have said many times that I think what he has done here is the best in the country, from start to finish."
Oklahoma beat TCU earlier Saturday and immediately donned caps and T-shirts declaring themselves Big 12 champs. But Kansas State's 24-19 win at Oklahoma on Sept. 22 gives them the tiebreaker and sends them to the Fiesta Bowl.
"I think (the title) means an awful lot to all of us," Snyder said. "A great deal to the young people in our program. They were excited about it. Obviously I speak for everybody in our football family. I think it's significant and important for each and every one of us. I'm pleased for a lot of different people, the people that genuinely support this program."
Texas, which may be headed for the Cotton Bowl, lost its lead on Kansas State's first possession of the second half. Klein hit a 29-yard pass and Hubert broke free for 28 yards as Kansas State soared 75 yards in seven plays, with Hubert scoring from the 2.
Hubert also had a 2-yard TD run with 47 seconds left in the third quarter and scored on a 1-yard run for a 35-17 lead with a little more than 3 minutes to go after Drew Liddle recovered Texas' muffed punt.
A few minutes later, Allen Chapman intercepted Case McCoy's pass and ran it back 35 yards, setting up Klein's 9-yard TD run for a 42-17 lead with 1:53 left. The back-beaker may have been Klein's long pass to a wide-open Tyler Lockett that went for a 55-yard scoring play.
"Basically, they just out-executed us," said Texas safety Adrian Phillips. "They did what they were supposed to do and we did not come out to do our job after halftime."
McCoy threw a 14-yard TD pass to Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter and a 9-yard scoring pass to Malcom Brown less than 1 minute left in the game. Brown also scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter.
McCoy hit 26-of-34 passes for 314 yards, with two interceptions. He was sacked four times by a swarming Kansas State defense.
The Wildcats' lone touchdown of the first half came on a 1-yard run by Klein and after an embarrassing lapse by defensive back Nigel Malone.
With perfect timing, Malone jumped in front of McCoy's intended receiver on Texas' second possession, made the interception and sped 30 yards into the end zone. But the ball only traveled the 29. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but upon review, it was determined Malone had let go of the ball and allowed it drop to the ground just as he was about to step across the goal line.
So it was placed on the 1 and Klein plowed into the end zone for his 21st rushing TD of the season and No. 54 for his career.
Klein was 0 for 4 in Kansas State's scoreless second quarter while McCoy was going 17 for 20 in the first half for 204 yards.
McCoy's longest pass play went for 70 yards, but almost all of that was the running of Daje Johnson right after Adrian Phillips intercepted Klein's pass in the end zone and gave the Longhorns the ball on the 20, setting up a field goal.

Engineers check the top of a rocket sitting on the launch pad during a guided media tour by North Korean authorities last April. The launch, which was heavily criticized by Russia, China and the U.S., failed when the rocket broke apart over the sea.
By Reuters
Russia and China urged North Korea on Monday not to go ahead with a plan for its second rocket launch of 2012, with Moscow saying the launch would violate restrictions imposed by the U.N. Security Council.
North Korea's state news agency on Saturday announced the decision to launch another space satellite sometime between Dec. 10 and Dec. 22, and reportedly told neighbors it would take a similar path to that planned for a failed rocket launch in April.
The country is banned from conducting missile or nuclear-related activities under U.N. resolutions imposed after earlier nuclear and missile tests.
North Korea says its rockets are used to put satellites into orbit for peaceful purposes, but that assertion is not widely accepted.
'Grave provocation': North Korea vows to test long-range rocket
Washington and Seoul believe that the impoverished North is testing long-range missile technology with the aim of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Pyongyang's threats are aimed, in part, at winning concessions and aid from Washington, analysts say.
"We urgently appeal to the government (of North Korea) to reconsider the decision to launch a rocket," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Echoing its criticism of the April launch, Russia said North Korea had been warned not to ignore a U.N. Security Council resolution which "unambiguously prohibits (it) from launching rockets using ballistic technology."
South Korean warships are searching the Yellow Sea for debris from a recently failed rocket launch by North Korea. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Has North Korea learned its lessons about launches?
China was not so direct in its criticism of North Korea, but urged "all sides" not to take any action that "worsens the problem."
"China believes that maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia accords with the interests of all sides and is the joint responsibility of all sides," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters.?"In the present circumstances, we hope all sides can be calm and restrained and not take any moves to worsen the problem. China will remain in touch and coordinate with all sides."
Election provocation?
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned the launch plan on Sunday as a provocative threat to the Asia-Pacific region.
The warnings come just weeks before South Korea's Dec. 19 presidential election in which the handling of North Korea is a major campaign issue. The isolated North has for years tried to influence major events in the South by issuing propaganda or launching armed attacks.

From work to play, see pictures from inside the secretive country.
Q&A: Rocket is 'not a military missile ... but it's darn close'
North and South Korea have been technically at war since their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, and regional powers have for years been trying to rein in the North's nuclear program.
Countries trying to stop North Korea's arms program believe it is using rocket launches to perfect technology to build a missile arsenal capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the United States.
North Korea is under U.N. sanctions that ban trading in missile or nuclear technology that have driven its already dire economy deeper in trouble by cutting off what was once a lucrative source of hard cash.
NBC gets a rare peek inside North Korea
Russia has often balanced criticism of Soviet-era client state North Korea's nuclear activities and missile launches with calls on other powers to refrain from belligerent actions against it, which Russia says can be counterproductive. Past launches by Pyongyang have caused concern among Russians living near the country's border with North Korea.

It just bought BufferBox Inc, a Y Combinator startup, for an undisclosed sum. BufferBox is a kiosk that can be placed in local venues around the nation for self-service parcel pick-up. In other words, if BufferBox becomes popular, you could walk into your local CVS and pick up a package you ordered from an online merchant.
This is a product -- not a talent -- acquisition. BufferBox will continue operating within Google.
"We're going to keep doing BufferBox," Google engineering director Steve Woods told Financial Post. "We?re not going to go into great detail about our future plans, but we think there?s a real exciting space beyond this amazing start with boxes, and the idea of touching consumers as part of their end-to-end experience is something we?re going to explore together. I don?t think we would say even definitively what it?s going to be, but we?re going to do some great things together.?
BufferBox had plans to undercut even the cheapest shipping services and deliver packages to its kiosks for $3 or $4. (USPS costs about $5.25 per package. UPS and FedEx cost more.) It also planned to set up 100 kiosks around the Toronto area in 2013.
So, what does Google want with a shipping company?
The Economist has one idea.
"Google is experimenting with a service that would let folk find goods online, order them and have them delivered within a day for a modest fee," The Economist wrote this morning. "This seems similar to Amazon?s hugely successful 'Prime' service, which costs $79 a year to join in America. Rather than try to replicate the e-commerce giant?s extensive network of warehouses, Google is looking for partnerships with shipping companies and retailers instead. But if it is serious about taking on Amazon, it may ultimately have to buy a logistics firm. At $69 billion UPS has a market value less than a third of Google?s; it is valued at less than twice the search giant?s cash pile."
The Economist implies that Google could jump whole hog into fulfillment and logistics, and that it could becoming the back-end ecommerce delivery system for the world.
Of course, that is an entirely different business than the business Google is in right now. And it's not clear why Google would want to be in that business, especially with so many other promising opportunities to invest in.?
So, what do you think Google wants with a startup like BufferBox? Is this really the beginning of a full-on shipping war between Google and Amazon?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ? Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend briefly lived apart before he killed her and then committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager, a friend of the woman said Sunday.
But Brianne York, 21, said that Belcher and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, had gotten back together by Thanksgiving.
When she learned Saturday that Belcher had fatally shot Perkins at the couples' home, York said, she thought someone must have been mistaken.
Afterward, Belcher drove about five miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where he thanked general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel for all they'd done for him. Belcher then fatally shot himself in the practice facility's parking lot, police said.
Belcher and Perkins have a 3-month-old daughter.
"They just don't seem like they're that kind of people," said York, who met Perkins while taking prerequisite classes at the Blue River campus of the Metropolitan Community College. The women bonded during their pregnancies. York's baby, a boy, was born about three months before Perkins' daughter.
York recalled that her friend was "really happy about being a mom."
"It doesn't seem that that would be the end of their story," York said. "It just seems like if things didn't work out, they would have gone their separate ways. I would never have thought that this would be how it ended."
York said the couple had argued about "normal couple stuff" and sometime after Halloween Perkins had gone to visit her family in Texas. Perkins also briefly stayed with her cousin, who is married to Chiefs player Jamaal Charles. Belcher and Perkins met through Charles, York said.
A message left for Charles and his wife through an assistant was not immediately returned.
York said the root of the argument was that Belcher, "sometimes he would just be down in his man cave or whatever," and Perkins wanted to spend more time together as a family.
Initially, York said Perkins told her that "they weren't sure if they were going to be able to work things out and stay together." But York said, "They ended up wanting to try to work it out, and the next time I went over and visited she told me everything was good and things were better so I thought everything was fine."
Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp reiterated Sunday that the couple had argued recently but he could provide no additional details.
At the couple's former home, people could be seen coming and going Sunday. "Can you all respect grieving?" said a man who answered the door at the couple's home. A short time later, at the same time the Chiefs were playing the Carolina Panthers, two men loaded bags into a car, and two women drove away.
Attempts to reach various members of Perkins' family in Austin, Texas, were unsuccessful.
Neighbors in the newly built Kansas City subdivision where the couple had lived since April were stunned by Saturday's violent events.
Kristen VanMeter, 31, lives near the couple and said also she had taken community-college courses with Perkins. VanMeter said the couple threw "a lot of parties" but said she heard nothing unusual the morning of the killing.
"It's a surprise," she said. "There had to of been something that triggered it."
Belcher's mother, who was staying with the couple, called 911 after her son shot Perkins. Snapp said 911 tapes aren't public records in Missouri.
Shawn Martin, vice president of the neighborhood homeowners association, said she wasn't aware of any problems that preceded the shooting.
She described the parties at the home Belcher and Perkins shared as "nothing more than any other young couple" would have.
After having the baby, Perkins was taking the fall semester off school. York said Perkins planned to return in January and wanted to become a teacher.
Police said Belcher's mother was living with the couple, but York said she just made frequent visits, sometimes lasting a couple weeks at a time. She doesn't know who will care for the baby now.
"Jovan is pretty laid back and calm and collected," York said. "And they just seemed really happy around each other, and I just don't understand where things went wrong."
York said the only other stress Perkins mentioned was whether Belcher would stay with the Chiefs.
"She was a really good person to be around and a lot of fun," York said. "She was somebody you could call when you were down and she would talk you through it. She would lift you back up and make you feel happy again if you were sad or upset."
